Battery or flash memory

[rg]

Is the preset memory on the LP handled by a flash chip or is there some kinda battery in there that will need replacing?

I'm sure it's some sort of non-volatile storage but I can only speculate until i open one up.....I'm sure synth makers these days have learned from the past and try to stay away from batteries.
but ya never know!
anyone wanna open theirs up and take some pictures for us?

I heard that the Voyager had a battery though...

There is no battery in the Voyager, it uses flash memory. I do not know about the LP though, more likely it is flash memory why go backwards in technology for a new synth...!

So, will the LP lose its presets & other settings if unplugged?

Sorry MC, there's a battery in the Voyager. The flash memory is for the OS.
Storing presets in a RAM is faster than in a flash.
Have fun,

That'll teach me to answer questions before I look under the hood...
